A real piece of shit human but an innovator inside the ring. Benoit really crafted his style based offf of DK and from that evolved Daniel Bryan. So in a way, his legacy is living on. His book was pretty decent for it’s time as well but has since been topped by a number of others including Bret Hart.
TLDR The British Bulldogs reunited!

Can anyone give me the bad things he did exactly?! Or was he just a bitter old man?

Alleged rapist, drugged people, broke a girls legs on purpose if I recall, would frequently abuse his wife and stick a shotgun under her chin and threaten her (sometimes while she slept), major bully in the locker room....that’s a good start.

He was widely regarded as an asshole by everyone in wrestling, kind of like a JBL or Bob Holly type. Bullied everybody, would shoot on people during matches and hurt people, pulled malicious "pranks" backstage and shit like that.
He was also abusive to his family. I think there's even a story in Bret Hart's book where he talks about Dynamite waking his wife up with a gun pointed at her head and threatening to kill her.
Just lots of stories like that. And he was really open about all that stuff and pretty much fully admitted to being an asshole and didn't give a shit if people didn't like him for it.
EDIT: yeah what Chris said
